“We find ourselves, time and time again in a thousand disguises on the path of life.”- Carl Jung. That path can be full of joy and dread, but it’s worth it. The challenge may be finding the inner strength and fire to take the first step and find your own way through the dark night. Whether you're fighting dragons, depression, or anxiety, taking that first step is essential. That’s where I can help.

I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals dealing with disease, depression and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and other life hardships. I have successfully helped my clients become better equipped to manage their problem lists and assist them in changing their perspective on life. I incorporate a variety of theoretical perspectives including strength, systems, cognitive, and behavioral. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 20 years experience providing counseling to children, teens, adults and families. My mission is to provide help, hope and healing to you and your family through a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or your loved ones, my goal is to always encourage, support and help you navigate the trials and hardships we encounter in life.

I commend you for searching for help! My empathetic, caring, and encouraging approach along with my education, specialized training, and life experiences continues to be of help to most people, while having a niche with tween/teen boys, men, veterans, couples, and parents. My life experience with adoption, military life, leading non-profits, marital challenges, men's issues, raising teens, overcoming addictions, and struggles with faith may also help you. Training to help with trauma, addictions, depression, and anxiety with Brainspotting and EMDR can provide the healing you and your loved one's have been seeking for some time.

**My practice is full at this time.*** Right now you are well on your way to finding just the right therapist to help with whatever situation you find yourself in today! It is not easy to do this part - shopping for a therapist - yet I find so many courageous people realize positive life-changing outcomes after working with the right one. If you value life experience, education, a direct and honest approach, empathy and compassion (a little humor here and there, too), then there's a good chance you'd benefit from counseling with me.

Are you navigating a major life change? Asking “why me?” Perhaps you are grieving the traumatic loss of a loved one and it feels impossible to go about normal life, or maybe you’re experiencing anxiety that’s leaving you feeling insecure and unsatisfied in relationships. If you are exploring your gender identity or have begun transition, you may be feeling pressure to live up to expectations of how to look and act, all while navigating your own emotional journey that comes with the process. Maybe you’re new to co-parenting and trying to figure out how to prioritize your children’s needs in the midst of conflict and frustration.

I want to help you better know, understand, and most importantly accept yourself. All too often we carry around with us hidden beliefs that we are not acceptable as we are. We say to ourselves: "If only I were better at..." "I am just a fraud..." "If anyone really knew who I was..." We feel that we should be a certain way first in order to be deserving of the relationships that we really want. My goal is to help you work through these unhelpful core beliefs and ultimately have a more full and fulfilling life.

Where you have goals for your future, I want to help you achieve them. If you do not have goals, I hope to help you find some. I see it as my job to help you develop good and optimistic goals for yourself. I also want to help you with the problems and challenges that are in your way to a successful future. My aim is to assist you and encourage you, and hopefully to inspire you in your thoughts about your future. Part of my job is to help you find ways to see your strengths and defeat your self-doubt. Where you lack hope, I hope to help you gradually replace self-doubt and uncertainty with hope.

Hi there! I would first like to congratulate you on taking the first steps toward becoming a better you. Whether you are struggling with depression, loss, life transitions, or any other personal experience, I am here to help!

My goal is to help you feel less alone and overwhelmed by the challenges life can present. Whether it's panic attacks, social anxiety, sadness, apathy, lack of motivation, anger, relationship conflict, or other concerns, we'll work on a solution. I understand how limiting psychological distress can be and am passionate about helping you start living a more meaningful and engaged life. I draw from the insights of psychodynamic theorists to explore unconscious motivations, from the wisdom of interpersonal thinkers to understand your relationships, and from the science of cognitive behavioral researchers to change your thinking and attitudes.

Your new life can start today! Change your life for the better! Uncover underlying meaning and deepen your self awareness in a supportive therapeutic environment. Understand your subconscious better through resolving childhood issues and becoming more present and mindful in your current relationships. Realize your potential. I specialize in individual therapy focused on people who are experiencing life change and/or transitions, depression and anxiety. Rediscover the joy in your relationships. Overcome depression and grief. Find relief from anxiety and stress. Control eating urges. Access adaptive thoughts.

Do often find yourself wondering what you can do to feel better? Do you feel sad or feel that you have no energy or oomph? Do you want a break from the stress? Maybe you are worried about your child and not sure how to help them. You may wonder if you will ever find answers to your problems. It seems like you’ve tried everything but nothing works, at least not for very long. Maybe you've even tried therapy before, but it's only helped temporarily. It can be scary to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure it’s someone who you can really connect with and also someone who will keep you in the loop.

We all experience struggles in life with its unpredictable twists and turns. You are making a huge step in obtaining support to begin a journey of healing and growing. My goal is to provide a nurturing environment, empathetic and caring where clients feel safe to explore their lives. Areas of therapy focus are relief from interpersonal distresses such as anxiety, depression, breaking negative cycles, healing of emotional wounds, trauma, grief/loss, repairing and improving relationships. I focus working with individuals, men and women, young adults, middle age, older ages, teens and children.

I desire to help other that are having difficulty coping through life's issues and challenges, not having someone to talk to them about life challenges, and needing assistance on developing coping strategies and attachment disorders. I am here if they want someone who they can feel confident and comfortable talking to, learn how to get properly get through life's challenges without feeling the heavy mental burden of stress anxiety, and/or developing more healthier coping strategies.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist and Board Certified in School Neuropsychologist, I conduct individual educational assessments for children and teens who may be having struggles that are interfering with school, family or their relationships. I've been working in education and psychology for over 10 years and I'd love to help you find interventions, strategies and plans to propel learning forward for your student. I want to help your student LEARN. I will complete a full assessment with a focus on the best learning strategies.

I do my best work with young adults who are struggling with severe anxiety and/or depression, coping with trauma from childhood, and are finding it difficult to move on in life. When you're suffering and unable to move forward, life can feel impossible to manage. With support, you can become your best self and have a successful start to adulthood - learning to lead a healthy adult life.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling lost, confused and without hope. Other times, we may just be stuck. This is where therapy comes in. I believe the relationship we create together is the foundation for great therapy. I want you to experience relief! Therefore, I utilize an individualized approach to address life's many challenges, inspiring growth. I am confident that the journey of therapy can greatly improve one's quality of life.

I offer both therapeutic and diagnostic services. In therapy, clients who benefit most are motivated to work toward change. They seek to improve their moods and progress toward their goals, whether related to relationships, careers, or health. I also supervise an unlicensed psychologist who specializes in working with children and adolescents. She helps them improve family and peer interactions, handle emotional challenges, and master self-control. I’m committed to a practice centered around empathy, caring, and acceptance. I believe establishing deep connections with clients leads to helping them achieve their goals.
